RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Certified community behavioral health clinics (CCBHCs) are designed to provide comprehensive care for individuals with co-occurring mental and substance use disorders. The authors classified outpatient mental health treatment facilities on the basis of provision of services for clients with co-occurring disorders and assessed whether CCBHCs differed from other outpatient mental health facilities in services provided. METHODS: The authors used latent class analysis to identify distinct services for clients with co-occurring disorders in 5,692 outpatient mental health facilities in the 2021 National Substance Use and Mental Health Services Survey. Nine indicators were included: treatment for clients with substance or alcohol use disorder co-occurring with serious mental illness or serious emotional disturbance, specialized programs or groups for such clients, medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for alcohol use disorder, MAT for opioid use disorder, detoxification, individual counseling, group counseling, case management, and 12-step groups. A multinomial logistic regression was used to estimate whether CCBHCs were associated with any identified classes after analyses controlled for facility characteristics. RESULTS: A four-class solution provided a model with the best fit, comprising comprehensive services (23.4%), case management services (17.7%), counseling and self-help services (58.6%), and professional services (4.3%). Regressing class membership on facility type and covariates, the authors found that compared with community mental health clinics (CMHCs), CCBHCs were more likely to belong to the comprehensive services class than to the case management services, counseling and self-help services, and professional services classes. CONCLUSIONS: CCBHCs were more likely than other outpatient programs to offer comprehensive care, and CCBHC status of a CMHC facilitated enhanced service provisions.

RESUMO

Introduction: Money source influences risk-taking behaviors. Although studies consistently indicated that individuals demonstrate a higher propensity to make risky investments when utilizing non-labor income as opposed to labor income, explanations as to why non-labor income leads to continuously blowing money into risky investments are scarce. Methods: The current study leverages a computational modeling approach to compare the differences in the dynamic risk investment process among individuals endowed with income from different sources (ie, non-labor income vs labor income) to understand the shaping force of higher risk-taking propensity in individuals with non-labor income. A total of 103 participants were recruited and completed the Balloon Analogue Risk Task (BART) with an equal monetary endowment, either as a token for completion of survey questionnaires (representing labor income) or as a prize from a lucky draw game (representing non-labor income). Results: We found that individuals endowed with non-labor income made more risky investments in BART compared to those with labor income. With computational modeling, we further identified two key differences in the dynamic risk investment processes between individuals endowed with labor and those with non-labor income. Specifically, individuals endowed with non-labor income had a higher preset expectation for risk-taking and displayed desensitization towards losses during risk investments, in contrast to individuals with labor income. Discussion: This study contributed to a better understanding of the psychological mechanisms of why individuals make more risk-taking behaviors with non-labor income, namely higher preset expectations of risk-taking and desensitization towards losses. Future research could validate these findings across diverse samples with varying backgrounds and adopt different manipulations of labor and non-labor income to enhance the external validity of our study.

RESUMO

Deep-trap persistent luminescent (PersL) materials with enriched traps, which allow signals to quickly write-in and read-out with low-energy consumption, are one of the most promising materials for information storage. In this review, considering the demand for optical information storage, we provide comprehensive insights into the data storage mechanism of PersL materials. Particularly, we focus on various "trap-state tuning" strategies involving doping to design new deep-trap persistent phosphors with controlled carrier trapping-de-trapping for non-volatile and high-capacity information storage. Subsequently, various recent significant strategies, including wavelength-multiplexing, intensity-multiplexing, mechanical-multiplexing, and three-dimensional and multidimensional trap-multiplexing technologies for improving the information storage capacity of PersL phosphors are highlighted. Finally, the challenges and opportunities regarding optical information storage by PersL materials are discussed. We hope that this review will provide new insights for the future development of PersL materials in the field of optical data storage.

RESUMO

Terpene aroma compounds are key quality attributes of postharvest Torreya grandis nuts, contributing to their commercial value. However, terpene biosynthesis and regulatory networks in different T. grandis cvs. are still poorly understood. Here, chief cvs. 'Xi Fei' and 'Xiangya Fei' were investigated for their differences in terpene biosynthesis and gene expression levels during postharvest ripening using headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and transcriptomic datasets. A total of 28 and 22 aroma compounds were identified in 'Xi Fei' and 'Xiangya Fei', respectively. Interestingly, differences in aroma composition between the two cvs. were mostly attributed to D-limonene and α-pinene levels as key determinants in Torreya nuts' flavor. Further, transcriptome profiling, correlation analysis, and RT-qPCR annotated two novel genes, TgTPS1 in 'Xi Fei' and TgTPS2 in 'Xiangya Fei', involved in terpene biosynthesis. In addition, six transcription factors (TFs) with comparable expression patterns to TgTPS1 and four TFs to TgTPS2 were identified via correlation analysis of a volatile and transcriptome dataset to be involved in terpene biosynthesis. Our study provides novel insight into terpene biosynthesis and its regulation at the molecular level in T. grandis nut and presents a valuable reference for metabolic engineering and aroma improvement in this less explored nut.

RESUMO

Osteoporosis is a major public health problem with an urgent need for safe and effective therapeutic interventions. The process of shell formation in oysters is similar to that of bone formation in mammals, and oyster extracts have been proven to exert osteoprotective effects. Oyster mantle is the most crucial organ regulating shell formation, in which exosomes play an important role. However, the effects of oyster mantle-derived exosomes (OMEs) on mammalian osteoporosis and the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. The OMEs investigated herein was found to carry abundant osteogenic cargos. They could also survive hostile gastrointestinal conditions and accumulate in the bones following oral administration. Moreover, they promoted osteoblastic differentiation and inhibited osteoclastic differentiation simultaneously. Further mechanistic examination revealed that OMEs likely promoted osteogenic activity by activating PI3K/Akt/ß-catenin pathway in osteoblasts and blunted osteoclastic activity by inhibiting NF-κB pathway in osteoclasts. These favorable pro-osteogenic effects of OMEs were also corroborated in a rat femur defect model. Importantly, oral administration of OMEs effectively attenuated bone loss and improved the bone microstructure in ovariectomy-induced osteoporotic mice, and demonstrating excellent biosafety. The mechanistic insights from our data support that OMEs possess promising therapeutic potential against osteoporosis.

RESUMO

Perovskite monocrystalline films are regarded as desirable candidates for the integration of high-performance optoelectronics due to their unique photophysical properties. However, the heterogeneous integration of a perovskite monocrystalline film with other semiconductors is fundamentally limited by the lattice mismatch, which hinders direct epitaxy. Herein, the van der Waals (vdW) integration strategy for 3D perovskites is developed, where perovskite monocrystalline films are epitaxially grown on the mother substrate, followed by its peeling off and transferring to arbitrary semiconductors, forming monocrystalline heterojunctions. The as-achieved CsPbBr3-Nb-doped SrTiO3 (Nb:STO) vdW p-n heterojunction exhibited comparable performance to their directly epitaxial counterpart, demonstrating the feasibility of vdW integration for 3D perovskites. Furthermore, the vdW integration could be extended to silicon substrates, rendering the CsPbBr3-n-Si and CsPbCl3-p-Si p-n heterojunction with apparent rectification behaviors and photoresponse. The vdW integration significantly enriches the selections of semiconductors hybridizing with perovskites and provides opportunities for monocrystalline perovskite optoelectronics with complex configurations and multiple functionalities.

RESUMO

Doping plays a crucial role in modulating and enhancing the performance of organic semiconductor (OSC) devices. In this study, the critical role of dopants is underscored in shaping the morphology and structure of OSC films, which in turn profoundly influences their properties. Two dopants, trityl tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl) (TrTPFB) and N,N-dimethylanilinium tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate (DMA-TPFB), are examined for their doping effects on poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and PBBT-2T host OSCs. It is found that although TrTPFB exhibits higher doping efficiency, OSCs doped with DMA-TPFB achieve comparable or even enhanced electrical conductivity. Indeed, the electrical conductivity of DMA-TPFB-doped P3HT reaches over 67 S cm-1, which is a record-high value for mixed-solution-doped P3HT. This can be attributed to DMA-TPFB inducing a higher degree of crystallinity and reduced structural disorder. Moreover, the beneficial impact of DMA-TPFB on the OSC films' morphology and structure results in superior thermoelectric performance in the doped OSCs. These findings highlight the significance of dopant-induced morphological and structural considerations in enhancing the film characteristics of OSCs, opening up a new avenue for optimization of dopant performance.

RESUMO

The discovery of RNA methylation alterations associated with cancer holds promise for their utilization as potential biomarkers in cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and prediction. RNA methylation has been found to impact the immunological microenvironment of tumors, but the specific role of methylation-related genes (MRGs), particularly in breast cancer (BC), the most common cancer among women globally, within the tumor microenvironment remains unknown. In this study, we obtained data from TCGA and GEO databases to investigate the expression patterns of MRGs in both genomic and transcriptional domains in BC. By analyzing the data, we identified two distinct genetic groupings that were correlated with clinicopathological characteristics, prognosis, degree of TME cell infiltration, and other abnormalities in MRGs among patients. Subsequently, an MRG model was developed to predict overall survival (OS) and its accuracy was evaluated in BC patients. Additionally, a highly precise nomogram was created to enhance the practical usability of the MRG model. In low-risk groups, we observed lower TBM values and higher TIDE scores. We further explored how MRGs influence a patient's prognosis, clinically significant characteristics, response to therapy, and the TME. These risk signatures have the potential to improve treatment strategies for BC patients and could be applied in future clinical settings. Moreover, they may also be utilized to determine prognosis and biological features in these patients.

RESUMO

Hot air drying (HAD) is an extensive method used on oysters and it causes the most intuitive change, a color change. However, the mechanism of color change remains unclear. This study showed that oysters underwent browning during the HAD process. The colorimetric parameter L* decreased while a* and b* increased, all of which were well described by the first-order color kinetic model. Mechanistically, the HDA process induced the oxidative browning of phenols and the generation of Maillard reaction products (5-hydroxymethylfurfural and hydrophilic pyrrole). Meanwhile, the HAD process caused lipid oxidation, leading to the reduction of phosphatidylethanolamine and the generation of reactive carbonyl compounds (aldehydes and α-dicarbonyl compounds). Moreover, the accumulation of hydrophobic pyrroles, a lipid-induced Maillard-like reaction product, was observed. These results suggest that, in addition to phenolic oxidation, sugar- and amino acid-mediated non-enzymatic browning reactions, lipid-mediated Maillard-like reactions play important roles in oyster darkening during the HAD process.

RESUMO

Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors have shown great potential for monolithic three-dimensional (M3D) integration due to their dangling-bonds-free surface and the ability to integrate to various substrates without the conventional constraint of lattice matching1-10. However, with atomically thin body thickness, 2D semiconductors are not compatible with various high-energy processes in microelectronics11-13, where the M3D integration of multiple 2D circuit tiers is challenging. Here we report an alternative low-temperature M3D integration approach by van der Waals (vdW) lamination of entire prefabricated circuit tiers, where the processing temperature is controlled to 120 °C. By further repeating the vdW lamination process tier by tier, an M3D integrated system is achieved with 10 circuit tiers in the vertical direction, overcoming previous thermal budget limitations. Detailed electrical characterization demonstrates the bottom 2D transistor is not impacted after repetitively laminating vdW circuit tiers on top. Furthermore, by vertically connecting devices within different tiers through vdW inter-tier vias, various logic and heterogeneous structures are realized with desired system functions. Our demonstration provides a low-temperature route towards fabricating M3D circuits with increased numbers of tiers.

RESUMO

The deep-sea bacterium Spongiibacter nanhainus CSC3.9 has significant inhibitory effects on agricultural pathogenic fungi and human pathogenic bacteria, especially Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the notorious multidrug-resistant pathogen affecting human public health. We demonstrate that the corresponding antibacterial agents against P. aeruginosa PAO1 are volatile organic compounds (VOCs, namely VOC-3.9). Our findings show that VOC-3.9 leads to the abnormal cell division of P. aeruginosa PAO1 by disordering the expression of several essential division proteins associated with septal peptidoglycan synthesis. VOC-3.9 hinders the biofilm formation process and promotes the biofilm dispersion process of P. aeruginosa PAO1 by affecting its quorum sensing systems. VOC-3.9 also weakens the iron uptake capability of P. aeruginosa PAO1, leading to reduced enzymatic activity associated with key metabolic processes, such as reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging. Overall, our study paves the way to developing antimicrobial compounds against drug-resistant bacteria by using volatile organic compounds.

RESUMO

We herein present a nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of aryl halides and nitriles with imidazolium salts. A series of 2-arylated imidazoles could be obtained in moderate to good yields through inert C-N bond cleavage. The imidazolium salt in this reaction acts as both a coupling partner and N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand precursor. Mechanistic studies reveal that consecutive steps of migratory insertion of the NHC into the aryl C-Ni bond and ß-C elimination might be involved in the proposed reaction mechanism.

RESUMO

Reliably discerning real human faces from fake ones, known as antispoofing, is crucial for facial recognition systems. While neuromorphic systems offer integrated sensing-memory-processing functions, they still struggle with efficient antispoofing techniques. Here we introduce a neuromorphic facial recognition system incorporating multidimensional deep ultraviolet (DUV) optoelectronic synapses to address these challenges. To overcome the complexity and high cost of producing DUV synapses using traditional wide-bandgap semiconductors, we developed a low-temperature (≤70 °C) solution process for fabricating DUV synapses based on PEA2PbBr4/C8-BTBT heterojunction field-effect transistors. This method enables the large-scale (4-in.), uniform, and transparent production of DUV synapses. These devices respond to both DUV and visible light, showing multidimensional features. Leveraging the unique ability of the multidimensional DUV synapse (MDUVS) to discriminate real human skin from artificial materials, we have achieved robust neuromorphic facial recognition with antispoofing capability, successfully identifying genuine human faces with an accuracy exceeding 92%.

RESUMO

Since November 2021, Omicron has emerged as the dominant severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variant, and its sublineages continue to appear one after another, significantly reducing the effectiveness of existing therapeutic neutralizing antibodies (NAbs). It is urgent to develop effective NAbs against circulating Omicron variants. Here, we isolated receptor binding domain (RBD)-specific single memory B cells via flow cytometry from a COVID-19 convalescent. The antibody variable region genes of the heavy chain (VHs) and light chain (VLs) were amplified and cloned into expression vectors. After antibody expression, ELISA screening and neutralizing activity detection, we obtained an IGHV3-53-encoded RBD-targeting cross-neutralizing antibody D6, whose VL originated from the IGKV1-9*01 germlines. D6 could potently neutralize circulating Omicron variants (BA.1, BA.2, BA.4/5 and BF.7), with IC50 values of less than 0.04 µg/mL, and the neutralizing ability against XBB was reduced but still effective. The KD values of D6 binding with RBD of the prototype and BA.1 were both less than 1.0 × 10-12 M. The protein structure of the D6-RBD model indicates that D6 interacts with the RBD external subdomain and belongs to the RBD-1 community. The sufficient contact and deep interaction of D6 HCDR3 and LCDR3 with RBD may be the crucial reason for its cross-neutralizing activity. The sorting and analysis of mAb D6 will provide important information for the development of anti-COVID-19 reagents.

RESUMO

Deep neural networks have revolutionized several domains, including autonomous driving, cancer detection, and drug design, and are the foundation for massive artificial intelligence models. However, hardware neural network reports still mainly focus on shallow networks (2 to 5 layers). Implementing deep neural networks in hardware is challenging due to the layer-by-layer structure, resulting in long training times, signal interference, and low accuracy due to gradient explosion/vanishing. Here, we utilize negative ultraviolet photoconductive light-emitting memristors with intrinsic parallelism and hardware-software co-design to achieve electrical information's optical cross-layer transmission. We propose a hybrid ultra-deep photoelectric neural network and an ultra-deep super-resolution reconstruction neural network using light-emitting memristors and cross-layer block, expanding the networks to 54 and 135 layers, respectively. Further, two networks enable transfer learning, approaching or surpassing software-designed networks in multi-dataset recognition and high-resolution restoration tasks. These proposed strategies show great potential for high-precision multifunctional hardware neural networks and edge artificial intelligence.

RESUMO

To ensure prolonged functionality of transpiration-driven electrokinetic power generators (TEPGs) in saltwater environments, it is imperative to mitigate salt accumulation. This study presents a salt pathway transpiration-driven electrokinetic power generator (SPTEPG), incorporating MXene, graphene oxide (GO), and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as active materials, along with cellulose nanofibers (CNF) and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) as aqueous binders and nonwoven fabrics. This unique combination confers exceptional hydrophilicity and enhances the energy generation performance. When tested with deionized water, the SPTEPG achieved a maximum voltage of 0.6 V and a current of 4.2 µA. In simulated seawater conditions, the presence of conductive ions in the solution boosted these values to 0.64 V and 42 µA. The incorporation of the salt pathway mechanism facilitates the return of excess salt deposits to the bulk solution, thus extending the SPTEPG's service life in saltwater environments. This research offers a straightforward yet effective strategy for designing transpiration-driven power generators suitable for saline water applications.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Early screening and accurate staging of diabetic retinopathy (DR) can reduce blindness risk in type 2 diabetes patients. DR's complex pathogenesis involves many factors, making ophthalmologist screening alone insufficient for prevention and treatment. Often, endocrinologists are the first to see diabetic patients and thus should screen for retinopathy for early intervention. AIM: To explore the efficacy of non-mydriatic fundus photography (NMFP)-enhanced telemedicine in assessing DR and its various stages. METHODS: This retrospective study incorporated findings from an analysis of 93 diabetic patients, examining both NMFP-assisted telemedicine and fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA). It focused on assessing the concordance in DR detection between these two methodologies. Additionally, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were generated to determine the optimal sensitivity and specificity of NMFP-assisted telemedicine, using FFA outcomes as the standard benchmark. RESULTS: In the context of DR diagnosis and staging, the kappa coefficients for NMFP-assisted telemedicine and FFA were recorded at 0.775 and 0.689 respectively, indicating substantial intermethod agreement. Moreover, the NMFP-assisted telemedicine's predictive accuracy for positive FFA outcomes, as denoted by the area under the ROC curve, was remarkably high at 0.955, within a confidence interval of 0.914 to 0.995 and a statistically significant P-value of less than 0.001. This predictive model exhibited a specificity of 100%, a sensitivity of 90.9%, and a Youden index of 0.909. CONCLUSION: NMFP-assisted telemedicine represents a pragmatic, objective, and precise modality for fundus examination, particularly applicable in the context of endocrinology inpatient care and primary healthcare settings for diabetic patients. Its implementation in these scenarios is of paramount significance, enhancing the clinical accuracy in the diagnosis and therapeutic management of DR. This methodology not only streamlines patient evaluation but also contributes substantially to the optimization of clinical outcomes in DR management.

RESUMO

The increasing emergence of multidrug-resistant pathogens and development of biopreservatives in food industries has increased the demand of novel and safe antimicrobial agents. In this study, a marine bacterial strain Bacillus licheniformis M1 was isolated and exhibited obvious antimicrobial activities against foodborne pathogens, especially against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. The antimicrobial agent was purified and identified as a novel antimicrobial peptide, which was designated as bacipeptin, and the corresponding mechanism was further investigated by electron microscopy observation and transcriptomic analysis with biochemical validation. The results showed that bacipeptin could reduce the virulence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and exerted its antimicrobial activity by interfering with histidine metabolism, inducing the accumulation of reactive oxygen species and down-regulating genes related to Na+/H+ antiporter and the cell wall, thus causing damage to the cell wall and membrane. Overall, our study provides a novel natural product against foodborne pathogens and discloses the corresponding action mechanism.

RESUMO

RATIONALE: Cellular uterine leiomyomas (CL) represent the prevailing subtype among uterine leiomyomas. In this study, we report a case of recurrent peritoneal disseminated uterine fibroids 2 years after single-port laparoscopic gasless myomectomy. This article endeavors to examine the potential limitations of the aforementioned surgical procedure and outline the distinguishing features of recurrent cases with primary postoperative pathology as CL. Additionally, it aims to provide a summary of previous retrospective studies on CL and propose the existence of immunohistochemical molecules that may serve as predictors for the postoperative recurrence of cellular uterine fibroids. The ultimate objective is to enhance clinicians' comprehension of the disease. PATIENT CONCERNS: Two years ago, the patient underwent a single-port gasless laparoscopic myomectomy for uterine fibroids. Gynecological color Doppler ultrasound conducted 3 months ago revealed recurrence of uterine fibroids, and the patient experienced abdominal distension, mild urinary frequency, and constipation for the past month. DIAGNOSES: After the second surgical procedure, a comprehensive pathological examination and immunohistochemical analysis of both the uterine mass and metastatic lesions revealed that the definitive diagnosis was CLs. INTERVENTIONS: The patient underwent the total hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, pelvic adhesiolysis, omental mass resection, mesenteric mass resection, and pelvic peritoneal mass resection. All specimens were sent for rapid frozen examination and showed to be leiomyomas. OUTCOMES: The patient was discharged from the hospital on the 10th day after the operation. At the date of writing the article, the patient had no recurrence for 1 year and 5 months. LESSONS: The single-port gasless approach did not achieve the desired reduction in fibroid recurrence, as anticipated by the surgeon. The act of pulling the tumor towards the abdominal incision for resection, on the contrary, may serve as an iatrogenic factor contributing to postoperative recurrence of CL into peritoneal dissemination leiomyomatosis. The single-port gasless assisted bag may be a more suitable option for myomectomy. The utmost effort should be made to prevent the potential recurrence of myoma caused by iatrogenic factors.

RESUMO

Primary adrenal epithelioid sarcoma is a rare lesion of the adrenal gland, and only seven cases have been reported in the domestic and international literature to date. We herein report a case involving a 65-year-old man with primary adrenal epithelioid sarcoma. After being admitted to the hospital with an adrenal mass found on physical examination, the patient underwent laparoscopic right adrenalectomy. Postoperative pathological findings indicated an epithelioid sarcoma (proximal type). Primary adrenal epithelioid sarcoma is a rare malignancy. Diagnosis is challenging and relies on histopathology and immunohistochemical staining.
